Some of the children of John (actually John Young or Young John) Davidson....John was born about 1822 in VA....were living in a couple of Roach households in Jackson Co., AL in 1860.One of those homes was headed by a Mrs. Margaret (Higgins) Roach who was the widow of Charles Lewis Roach (she was Charles' third wife)....and that was/is the same overall Roach family, out of Amherst Co., VA, into which the Mitchell family married.
Two of the sons of John Davidson and his wife Jane Smith (who John married in 1845 in Lumpkin Co., GA) were named Mitchell Cass Davidson and Charles Long Davidson.I wonder if MITCHELL Cass Davidson was named for the John Gette Mitchell family?Do the "Cass" and/or "Long" given names "ring any bells?"It seems likely that John Young/Young John Davidson was out of the Davidsons who were in Amherst Co., VA or Campbell Co., VA (around the Lynchburg Co., VA area).DNA testing shows that John Young/Young John Davidson was a member of DNA "Family 10" at www.davidsongenes.org, and that Davidson family "traces back" to James City Co., VA by at least 1682 (and several members of that Davidson family were in Buckinghan Co., VA on the 1764 tithe list there).Thanks.
